And yeah, nobody should bid the 190. You won't like it.

What is the general feel about the amount of recall guys that will come back? I would assume many are well established in their flying career for the past decade at XYZ airline, or gave up their airline career all together after 9/11.
Also, what significane does May 2016 have? Deadline for some recalls? Trying to gauge chances for OTS folks this year. Thanks in advance.

My personal guess is 150-200 of the 900 or so return. A lot of the guys on that list are really well established at Delta, FedEx, Southwest, United, UPS, etc. and aren't coming back. There are also a lot that have been trying to get an active duty retirement and will come back.
Everyone who has not returned already passed on 2 years of longevity pay. I don't know how much that equates to, but there is a huge difference between first and third year pay.
May '16 is when they have to make a decision to come back or resign. I think they start at the bottom of the list and work their way up, but I could be wrong.

150 - 250 is a number I hear a lot. Will probably be somewhere in that range. AA is estimating about 3 months worth of training to accommodate them supposedly, which at training 60-70/month (what they have been doing) would be about 180-210 guys. I was just in the training center and a sim instructor told me the same thing. Not that they really know definitively either.
I have spoken with a handful of guys in recent Jumpseat conversations that are not returning. They are Captains at other places now A couple were at Jetblue. I haven't met anyone that is returning, obviously they are out there though.

I get what you are saying though.
